ANNOUNCEMENT

I have launched a series of blog posts called Featured Mommypreneurs in collaboration with mommypreneurs (i.e. mommies entrepreneurs). Let me know if you're interested to join me to feature your products / services. :)

After baking this delicious Spiced Persimmon Loaf, now I bake spiced muffins, using frozen bananas. I froze some bananas when my toddler was down with throat infection for the past few days.Note: Cold food is great to soothe sore throats. He wasn't eating much of them, so I used some to bake these fragrantly spiced banana muffins.

Recipe adapted from this book, Muffins by Carol Pastor, pg. 31.

Packed with soft and dense mashed banana, the addition of flaxseeds provides these delightful muffins with an added crunch and the mixed spice brings depth of flavor to this breakfast treat. Rolled oats add bulk and fiber.

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line the cups of a muffin tin (pan) with paper cases.

2. Sift together both flours, baking powder, and mixed spices into a mixing bowl, then add the bran remaining in the sieve to the bowl. Stir in the sugar.

3. Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl. Allow to cool slightly, then beat in the egg and milk.

4. Gently fold in the dry ingredients. Mash the banana, then stir it into the batter. Do not overmix it.

5. Spoon the batter into the prepared paper cases.

6. Combine the ingredients of the crumble and sprinkle over each muffin.

7. Bake for 20 minutes until the muffins are well risen and golden. Leave to stand for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack and serve warm or cold. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
